Your Elora clue solving adventure: The Grand Gorge Race

A local historian has unearthed a story that calls into question how the charming Ontario town of Elora was founded. A dispute between rival claims to the land was resolved by holding a raft race along the river and through the gorge. Do you and your team have what it takes to help the historian follow a trail of clues around town to find the names of those involved?
